Well, it's not entirely accurate to point at Europe as being fine with laxer NOx regulations. Attitudes there are changing as population centers develop smog problems tied to their love affair with diesel vehicles.

I don't know--we have a catch-22 here. Lower CO2/higher NOx or high NOx/low CO2 emissions? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
